text: REMOTE OK<p>We are looking for a web developer with advanced (or not) skills to work on a variety of projects, mostly web apps.<p>We are two people: me, Sterling, a designer and Timmy, my partner, a developer. We do some kickass work—financial data visualization, WEBGL particle experiments, in-browser OBJ modeling, eCOMMERCE!—for some amazing, collaborative clients like Adidas and others.<p>We also value a life well-lived with people we care about. In that regard, we&#x27;re looking for an affable, resourceful, and dynamic human being to work alongside some of the day. The rest of the day we like to spend on our own personal and professional pursuits, some of which intersect, while others don&#x27;t.<p>I&#x27;ll say upfront we&#x27;re not interested in mega growth, as measured by clients, billables, etc. You&#x27;ll be working alongside just the two of us and a handful of clients. Our values are really centered around quality of life and some semblance of balance. We like that to match up with the people we work with too.<p>If this little post speaks to you, reach out via email, Instagram, or whatever suits you best.<p>Here&#x27;s some links:<p>Sterling - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sterlinglentz.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sterlinglentz.com&#x2F;</a>
